Brian Walsh has a post on gratitude we all need to read.
...Now I know, you might be thinking, “well this is all nice and sweet, but nice and sweet is not what we have come to expect from Empire Remixed.” And you’re right. Nice and sweet hasn’t got a snowball’s chance in hell in the face of empire.
But gratitude … that’s something different.
Read it here. Please. And thank you.

I like it. Here's the comment I posted: Good stuff. I think that in stooping “low” enough to write a few thank-you notes is an excellent discipline of humility we all ought to practice more. I wrote a few random thank-you notes to supporters of my ministry that are going out in a completely untimely manner: no agenda, no upcoming fund-raising campaigns, no high-budget trips coming up… I just really appreciate them. It felt good to express that kind of gratitude. It feels good to connect with people on more than just a have-to basis. That kind of gratitude and love (not that I’ve done a great job of exemplifying it; I’ve just seen the power of a well-intentioned “thank you” at work) will shock more people into the kingdom of God than maybe 100 sermons, in my opinion.
